It appears that 2 people won Mega-Millions on Friday. Some lone individual in Florida will be taking showers with over 500 million dollars (before taxes I believe) and I, with many others, won our own lottery. The biggest and most contested race at the convention was the Lt. Governor’s race. Everyone one had their opinion and favorite candidate, as I had mine. One thing for sure, Jeannemarie Davis was knocked out on the first vote, as was delegates intentions. Republicans are getting back to principles again (sort of) and purging those with questionable conservative credentials. JD is bad on gun rights (Yes, I said rights) and was dealt with accordingly. How it should be.

A field of seven took 4 votes to determine a winner by the rules. 2 at a vote were knocked off until a clear winner ensued. Funny thing is, all 4 votes proved one winner by a 2 to 1 margin or better, yet 50% + 1 was necessary. Go figure. Voting started at 1pm yet a winner wasn’t announced until 10:30 pm. There was some “glitches” of which I don’t want to speculate on, which caused a great time lapse between votes. With idle time comes boredom and the paper airplane air force engineers plied their trade. One guy really knew his craft. It so offended the convention staff that an announcement was made to cease, because of the chance of an airplane destroying one of the gazillion dollar trin-a-tron TV screens. What this did do is help speed the vote process, which I was thankful for. I believe Va. blue laws don’t allow voting on Sunday (I just made that up).

Bottom line is, a non-establishment outsider won. His name is E. W. Jackson. It disturbed those who wanted a party “insider” to hold the slot but this time the system worked. With some poutiness and bruised egos from other candidates, a real champion for the people, who hasn’t been tainted by the system, will go up against the D and I candidate. The D candidate will be whatever sucker they can find that is willing to be humiliated in the public forum and the I candidate will be someone from a town of population 2000 who hopes he/she can get votes from family members and have something to tell the grandbabies.

Although long, it was a good time seeing good friends and some unexpected old acquaintances. Many there applied their right of gun carry and no one was in fear of anything. Well, almost anyway. It seems that Eric Cantor was there to provide words to members attending Friday night’s dinner (supper for Southerners) and he was caught in the convention area RACING, with his contingent of armed protection plus one State Trooper, down the hall, probably looking for the safety of his armored Featherlite (in this case feather HEAVIER) where he could re-compose himself. This squish has a fear that people are out to do him harm. Thorozine might be of some use here. Maybe a day of reflection and looking in the mirror might help resolve his issues. With this type fear, guilt is usually a driving force. His day of political theatre is coming to an end. Other than that, I return unscathed back to you, albeit someone tired and a bit achy. I am really psyched over the outcome of this convention. The future of Va. is in very strong and capable hands if we win the day at election. I know many of you will be doing your part for our future. I will be.

Oh, someone turned over a rock and some skeletons fell out of the e-mail closet. One lone voice and determined individual named Steve Hayes of the Weekly Standard just refused to let this thing rest, especially after the administration continues to voice “nothing new here” (along with Juan Williams–what an absolutely clueless asshole….kinda like BlackOut). Well it was a good thing he didn’t but also read what it cost the American people to get this information. I hate this deal bullshit. Regardless, the ball moves forward and Obama’s head gets closer to exploding. Hillary is looking awful skanky on this issue too. When the final whistle blowers come forward, I have the feeling we will have some Nixonesque statement like ” you want have Obama around to miss anymore hoop shots” or “now my golf handicap will final go down and you suckers will still be paying for it”. I would like to see him in an orange jumpsuit myself but that probably won’t happen. But we can ship his White House bust back to his brother George in Kenya. It is a damn good thing that un-buttered popcorn isn’t fattening.

Two things. I told you there was more and people in intelligence were lying (or being stifled as it comes to light) from the very beginning. Second, I wish BE would stop pouting and come back so that I could tell him he was wrong. Maybe he is already working on his humility but I doubt it.

Tea Party, conservative, constitutionalist, patriot, anti-dictatorial government,…….pick the heading. If you aren’t for socialism and this administration then you are a target of the IRS. Now if this story is true, Obama says he is outraged and wants to get to the bottom of this when all the facts are in. Yes, that is the sound of crickets. When will his head pop from the lies. The IRS is a “separate” entity and he has no control over it. What does he have control over? When will he know ANYTHING that goes on in HIS government? And they say that this has nothing to do with politics. Then why are they picking on people/groups that are in opposition to his political party and his political views? The IRS, that will work Obamacare for all Americans and have access to your bank accounts, is supposedly an “impartial” agency of government.. Not so much, especially when you have a member of Congress, who now leads the investigation, prompting the IRS to do exactly what it did! Would this be a conflict of interest or just another way to ensure passing the blame off? I don’t know but this is but another nail in Obama’s coffin. The buck stops at your desk, fool. Time to man up and take the blame…….and then resign. Hail, President Plugs Biden!

Article on Gov Christie having gastric band surgery to help him lose weight. If he is doing this for his health, good for him. If he is doing this for political image and advancement, bad for us and let me tell you why. Gastric banding is a medical surgery. There are a couple more that are radical and it is serious business. I have known a couple people doing this and the more radical procedures, and it can be dangerous (life threatening). There are better ways.

There are Weight Watchers, which you do for yourself and takes dedication and devotion. Stick to it and you will lose weight. Then you have the lazier version which is Nutri-System. It makes the meals for you (you pay for them, of course) and if you only eat these meals, as directed, you will lose weight. Both of them work. Exercise intensifies the lose of weight. But they both take dedication and devotion. If you are so lazy and willing to take drastic measures with your life when will power is all you need, how do you think you will affect other peoples lives; when instead of doing something simple, you go for the drastic? I wouldn’t want a lazy bonehead ruling over me. Would you? Maybe just banning Dunkin Donuts as a breakfast restaurant would suffice.

The Illinois House (Democrats) want to pass measures that will take away increases in cost of living and make pensioners put in 2%–read 2 percent–towards their pensions. It appears that the unions will fight this as being un-constitutional. The gov. (also Democrat) also supports it but it doesn’t appear it can pass the Senate. Illinois, which has the worst financial rating of any state, wants to get out from under billions in red ink but the unions are there to block that idea. After all, it was the unions that got them where they are today and they are very happy with the status quo. Until bankruptcy sets in. Then they go to court to get their “due”. Something there about not getting blood out of rock at that point but you would have to have rational understanding for this realization to set in. The state will end up having a bankruptcy sale but who would want it. Read it here.

So what have we learned here? Evidently, nothing much. Unions were having a big fight in California to determine who would represent 45,000 members (and get dues worth $40 million annually) of the 300 Kaiser-Permanente hospitals and clinics. That is $889 paid per member in dues which means higher costs in healthcare for YOU! See, it’s all about dues money for the unions. Who cares what happens to budgets, businesses and economies. California will be following Illinois with that fire sale. Read the joke here.

Some states are beginning to see the light. Many states aren’t. I hope Va. never gets caught up in this boondoggle.

A surprise press conference was held today (I believe things are getting sticky and some answers needed forthcoming….which was a failure) to address Bengazi, Boston bombing and Gitmo. The WaPo has the transcript here. It is pretty much a fumbling attempt NOT to commit to anything without more evidence, further studies, asking someone else to carry the ball, blah, blah, blah. He doesn’t know anything about people in State and CIA wanting to come forward but are being blocked from doing so. Really? None of his circle addresses the issues as they come up in news or scuttlebutt? He must get all his current affairs from NBC. Syrian use of chemical weapons was a red line. Now he needs further evidence and wants the UN to investigate. Has anyone talked to Putin for help yet? Has anyone denounced Putin for backing this regime while it slaughters its own citizens with, seemingly, any and all weapons at its disposal? And Obama wants to “organize” the international community. Organize. Why in hell is Obama still in office?

A new report from the House shows more lies from Obama and Clinton. It isn’t earth shattering news since we have known this from the beginning but I am wondering why, if Clinton gave testimony under oathe, she isn’t held for perjury? I’m a bit tired of the government lying, as will picking and choosing what it wants or doesn’t want to enforce. They don’t enforce gun law violations but want more gun restrictions. They don’t enforce illegal immigration but want immigration reform. They don’t enforce DOMA but want homosexual marriage rights.

Lying used to be something you were held culpable for. You could lose your position, your job, and maybe even a lawsuit or jail time. I expect that from the MSM but it can’t be allowed with the government. It sets precedence and is a very dangerous and deteriorating form for the gov’t to allow. Is it any wonder that the rest of the world looks at the US as some kind of bad joke? I wouldn’t care if we had special elections every two weeks for ousting gov’t liars. Sooner or later we would get people with moral values. In the mean time, expect more lies, deceit, and blaming others where personal integrity should preside.
